Guild Questions

On Profiles
Do profiles have to be sent to Silver2005 or a mod?


No, they don't. Just post your profile in the correct profile thread. I'll go and preview it later and PM you if there are any problems with it.

Race Questions

On Fingerprints
Do Vampires/Angels/Demons/Lycans/Slayers leave fingerprints at all?


Slayers obviously would, being human. The rest would only leave muddled prints that wouldn't be recognizable by any system, as they're not human.

On Hybrids
Are we allowed to create hybrid characters?


It depends on the case, but in almost every single situation, the answer shall be no. This is not a game for hybrids and more than enough races are given to choose from. As of this moment, there is only one hybrid character in the guild and it is an important NPC. If you feel that you absolutely need a hybrid for whatever reason, PM me and we'll talk about it.


On Leaders
Are the leaders of each race the only ones in the world?


Not at all. The Alpha, Elders, and ect are only the leaders of Los Angeles. There are other leaders for the races in major cities across the world and have various methods of keeping in contact with each other. Each race also has its own unique governing body, such as the Council for the vampires, that watch over the leaders. All of these types of governing bodies live within the old country, Europe, and will rarely be seen within the roleplay.

On Base Instinct
What exactly is "base instinct"?


This phrase only applies to vampires and lycanthropes.

Base instinct refers to the lower aspect of character that resides within the blood, for vampires, and the DNA, for lycanthropes. It is the basic need to feed that activates upon starvation or near death. Once activated, the base instinct seeks to protect the body by consuming the nearest nutrients or destroying the threat. Strength is boosted, though mental acuity is severely depleted, leaving only a simple beast. It can also be set off by intense emotions or great pain and is largely situation-dependent.



Lycanthrope Questions

On Being Changed
In what way are humans turned into lycanthropes?


There are two methods of turning a human into a werewolf, one far more prevalent than the other.

Saliva: The normal and widely used method is a direct bite from a lycanthrope in wolf form. The teeth must puncture the skin and allow the saliva to enter the bloodstream of the human. Once insinuated, the saliva changes the DNA of the human into its new morphology in a rather painful process. This creates a new werewolf that is entirely their own, though still subservient to its creator.

Blood Fusion: This method is a combination of the previous one and having the human directly drink the blood of the creator. A process such as this is far more painful because of the direct and forceful insinuation of the saliva and blood in tandem. The human becomes a werewolf of the exact same type and color as the original, barring any scarring. This is only done for the creation of a descendant to carry on a familial line, such as a specific Alpha gene. Transformation by saliva, however, still creates Alpha genes, but more generalized ones.


On Genetic Lines
What about a child born from a lycan? Are they automatically lycans?


Yes, they are. But there are a few circumstances that have to be understood.

Female lycanthropes cannot have children, or it is incredibly hard. Because of the necessity of changing during the full moon or at some point during the three trimesters, all lycanthrope pregnancies would usually result in miscarriage.

Thus, most children of lycanthropes only have a lycanthrope father. But this does help them.

They change at the normal age of eighteen. Starting off, they have complete control over their wolf form and are never overcome by hunger blackouts. Furthermore, they are naturally stronger than their parentage. Through enough lines of lycanthropes, some child descendant will naturally become an Alpha of their own right, even without the blood in their veins. At a certain power level, the wolf body creates the Alpha strength genes and the ability to lead a pack.


On Transformations
Do lycans turn back into humans when they die?


No, they don't. The form a lycan dies in is their permanent form. This means that they will stay as a wolf if they die like this. The reason for this occurrence is because transforming between wolf and human form takes physical effort and mental power from the individual. With the individual being dead, there is no way for the body to utilize any energy to change back into the human form. Because of this problem, all lycan bodies are to be burned upon death, so no detection is found by humans or the Slayers.

On Shifting
Do lycans shred their clothes when they change or what?


This is a difficult question that i've really wrestled with time and again. It can really go either way, but, after careful consideration, I decided to opt our of the shredding of clothes option. It makes roleplay much harder than it should be and, in some ways, make it hard to roleplay at all and keep the roleplay at a clean level.

So, I decided to go with the melding option, one that is kept up in some werewolf lore, in which the clothing becomes a part of the body as the fur grows out from it. This makes changing of clothes unnecessary and saves a lot of difficulties.


On Panting/Sweating
How do lycans deal with overheating? Do they pant like dogs do?


Yes, they pant as a way of getting rid of excess heat, but they also sweat. Since lycanthropes were initially human, they bring with them the ability to sweat when in wolf form. This is actually more efficient, for it creates a dual method of expending heat. Of course, sweating makes wolf fur sticky and matted, but it's just something they have to deal with. Good hygiene in lycanthrope culture is largely tied to the sheen of their coat while in wolf form, so it is a good idea to have someone brush them out every once in a while.



Vampire Questions

On the Sun
Can vampires go out in the sun or do they just burn up?


Actually, vampires can, if only for a limited amount of time. The idea that vampires turn instantly to ashes with the touch of the sun is a myth that has been found out to the regret of many mortals. The actual effects of the sun is on the skin and what the UV radiation does to it.

Because of the skin's composition while being undead, much different from being alive or dead, there is a heightened weakness to UV radiation. In essence, the radiation eats up the skin at five times the normal rate, leading to fast dehydration and other sun-related effects. For vampires, this means that the supply of blood that they have stored within their body evaporates with the sun's rays, which is the main reason that they die.

Though this does mean that vampires can be in the sun for a few hours if protected well by clothing, preferably black, and for just over an hour if they are unprotected.

This is also the main reason why most vampires sleep in coffins, because this gives them greater resistance against any UV radiation leaking through windows or some from through walls.


On Scents
Do Vampires leave behind any particular scent?


Besides that of blood, of course. Vampires are somewhat dead, so after a certain amount of time they wouldn't have much left to rot and smell...

On Blood
What is Vampire blood, and how does it affect the body?


Vampire blood is a virus that infects and assimilates the blood of the victim, taking over the bloodstream and using the victim's red blood cells to produce more Vampire cells. The victim's physiology also changes, the stomach and intestines are minimized in favor for the liver, lungs, muscles, and bone structure.
Vampire blood is nearly sentient, it has its own needs, instincts, and behavior patterns. As time passes, the host is further and further taken over by the virus, until his or her instincts, needs, and, to some extent, behavior echoes that of the virus completely.

During infection, it has been noticed that resisting the transformation can cause pain for the victim. If the victim is relaxed during the transformation, controlling their heart rate and breathing, adrenaline is not produced by the heart and the Vampire blood can assume control with more ease. There will always be the natural uncomfortable sensations that come when a host's heart ceases, but much pain can be avoided during the process by not resisting.


Why Blood
Why do Vampires need to drink blood?


Vampire Blood is also carnivorous in nature. Once a host is fully possessed -a transformation that uses the host's own organs as fuel- the Vampire cells begin in a non-stop craving for more blood, more fuel, which the host must supply. If the victim goes for too long without a fresh supply of blood, the Vampire cells will begin to break down organ tissues and muscle tissues for energy, eventually causing death.

Blood also contributes to how a Vampire grows in strength. Certain races will provide immediate strength and power without any long-term effects, humans on the other hand provide a 'compound' power, small remnants of energy that are left behind meal after meal, year after year. Combined with the slow total takeover of the Vampire blood, this buildup of energy is what causes Vampires to grow stronger over time, giving them new abilities and allowing them to sire and control more Vampires.


Effects of:
Animal blood: Animal blood is the most basic requirement for life. Nothing fancy, no strength is gained, no other effect than to stave off hunger a little longer.
Human blood: Human blood is the basic, and perhaps common, sustenance for Vampires. Plentiful in number they are slow, stupid, and easy to kill. Each human contains a little bit of energy, how much energy depends on their age willpower.
The young, the healthy, strong of will, and the innocent are the strongest meal for a Vampire in the human department. They have the most energy to offer, and possess a rather pleasant palate...
Lycan blood: Most Vampires would agree, Lycan blood is an acquired taste. Once fed, the Vampire can last for a long period of time without feeding again, although the blood provides little more in the ways of strength or power than human blood does.
Vampire blood: Varies from Vampire to Vampire, due to the diet of said Vampire and how well they take care of their self. Blood accepts blood, although it is easier to share between those of the same family or those who have previously shared blood than complete strangers. It provides more nutrition and power than Human blood, but the effects are temporary and hunger returns quickly.
Angel blood: The holy properties of Angel blood have always combated with the very nature of Vampires. Angel blood provides strength, but little nutrition, barely more than the average human.
Demon blood: The most exotic of the races, it is said that no two demons will ever taste alike. Whether or not this is true, Demon blood has always had the strongest effect of all the races. However, coming down from Demon blood is fast and dangerous. Within a few moments a Vampire can go from calm and collected, to ravenous and dangerous.


Vampire Bites
What happens when Vampires bite other races besides humans?


When Vampire blood is introduced into a non-human body -Lycan, Angel, or Demon- it immediately attempts to take control of the body, allowing it to start the turning process. When the blood can not assume control of the body and unsuccessful in turning the host, it reverts to its carnivorous nature and will essentially devour the host from the inside out, until either it gains the upper hand and take over is possible, or the host dies. The process in this case is extremely painful, as what little control the blood has will go towards weakening the host body's defenses.
*Cutting off airways, physical immobilization, et cetera.

The Lycan body has natural defenses against Vampire blood, to the extent that it is unheard of for a Lycan to be turned into a Vampire, even in the unlikely chance that he survives the transfer.
The holy properties of Angel blood would prove a challenge for Vampire blood, and it is unlikely that a complete takeover would ever be possible. Otherwise, turning would affect the Angel much the same as it would affect a human, the only major hurdle would be bringing the Angel to death.
Demons, on the other hand, are something completely inhuman. Their physiology varies totaly from race to race, and in the case of shape-shifters can change completely. For the same reason that one does not encounter Vampire cats, dogs, and birds, it is extremely rare for a Demon to be turned successfully into a Vampire. The Vampire virus was meant to handle the human body -the more inhuman, the less likely a successful transformation is possible.


Demon Questions

On Possessions
What are demons abilities in terms of possessing mortals?


It depends on the type of possession being done. There are several types: Full, Partial, and Overshadowing.

For a full possession, a demon will take full control of a mortal and force back their consciousness. This allows the demon to do anything with the body at all, including forcing it to commit suicide. This form of possessions can only be sustained for a short time, half an hour at the most. If a mortal with an abnormally strong will is possessed, then it is possible for the mortal to force out the demon.

A partial possession is quite different. Most of the time this form of possession is mutual between the possessor and the possessed. A demon control the muscles and extremities, giving the possessed mortal incredible strength and power. The demon is also able to speed up the mortal's thinking capabilities, making them essentially more able to react to attacks by deciding actions in a split-second. There are some instances in which this possession is not mutual and it is most likely that the demon will then be weakening the mortal and making their thinking muddled. This usually leads to the death of the mortal.

Overshadowing is when a demon merely inserts their presence over a mortal. The idea is shown through the mortal idea of a angel on one shoulder and a demon on the other. This is an exactly true statement, for the demon will whisper thoughts to the mortal, giving them ideas that are usually evil and things that they would normally never do. The mortal, most of the time, does not know about the demon overshadowing them.

I got all the lycan stuff saved.
PostPosted: Sat Oct 03, 2009 7:22 pm


Welcome to the Lycan Subforum. This is where all Lycan activities will occur. This subforum is only for Lycans and so only Lycans will be permitted here. Any posts found by someone from a different race will be deleted and the offender reprimanded. Please stay within your own race forum or the main forum.

Lycans, or lycanthropes, are basically werewolves. Those creatures that are the monsters that haunt the nightmares of many.

A few attributes to know is that lycans have great strength, but are weak to silver. Any form of silver weakens them and can be lethal if taken into the body. They are able to transform into wolves at any time, not with the full moon that many believe. The form is just stronger when under the light of the full moon. Most lycans are usually withdrawn people who seclude themselves, though there are exceptions to the rule. What kind of lycan you are is up to you.

Have fun. I'm sure we'll have a howling good time.

Alright, so, I've been drawing a Group shot of 'The Ladies in the City of Angels', because I fail at drawing guys and felt like doing something epic.

From Left to right goes:
Z, Akina, Maren, Cynder, Senia.

I didn't include Chloe because Damita hasn't been on in forever, and I havn't included Yazoo because I ran out of room Dx I can add her in when she comes back.

So yes, just the main players, and it's all be drawn up. Time to tell me any minor details for your characters that you'd like to see. I've based them off of your profile images so far, but I could always use some help

Things I need to know:

Akina's Hair Dx I failed. Badly. You see her from the front.
Sen's Hair. I failed. Again. Dx
And how I should include the chain on Senia. It's a profile of her left, showing off her wings.

Things Imma not changing:
Zzeil isn't going anywhere, she was the first one drawn and I love how her hat turned out surprised
Cynder, your new form's dress took me for evar, but it looks pretty damn good. It's not changing any time soon.
Senia's outfit isn't changing, I got the folds perfect. It's not going anywhere. Ever.

That's about it. Tell me any details and such/amendments to the profile images. I'll get pencils up sometime soon, then go straight to color :3

Alright, so by 'This weekend' I clearly meant 'Tuesday'. Tuesday.

Once Photoshop stops wanting to kill me, I'll be actually coloring this biggrin Otherwise, sorry that it's so small/light. The pencils are more or less a guideline. Things such as Senia's wings will be done properly in Photoshop~


I bought markers just for this peice! I didn't wanna pencil crayon it in, so I bought a set of crayola and used those along with my pencil crayons for the near-white shades.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Webcam shot, I'll scan it proper when my scanner reverts back from man-eating plant mode and stops trying to attack my kidneys. (Oh god, the horror!)


Worst part is the last thing I do, the lettering at the top, smears. I almost cried. It was perfect until the last moment...


Thanks, Silver! xd It's my first real attempt at markers, pencil crayons are an old hat though wink

Final is up on my Deviantart, PM me if you want the full-sized 1000x1000 version!

PostPosted: Sat Oct 03, 2009 7:23 pm


For right now, post your profiles in your respective subforum. I'll check them and if there's anything wrong, i'll edit them. I'll then PM you, telling about the changes I made and the reasons for doing so.

On that note, please remember that your character cannot be superpowerful. The strongest people in each groups are the leaders. No person can be stronger than the leaders. Remember that, please!

Also, you must create a room/apartment/ ect, before you start posting on the main forum.

Former Male Alpha's Profile

Name Revoked his human name and created a new name for himself that is both his human name (now) and his wolven name.

Alias Silver Zagros

Age 18 (30 in human years)

Appearance User Image

Wolven Appearance The entire body is silver as in the transformation his silver hair flows down his entire body and covers it. He can transform into either a giant wolf or a man-like werewolf, depending on his preferences at the time. His eyes stay completely the same except the whites of his eyes go black. In his wolf form he is 6ft long and is 5ft high. In his werewolf form he stands at 7ft high and this form is not used often because it is easy to notice with its size.

Personality The years have changed him, especially having been forced into a position of power. He is unsure of exactly what he must do, though he will always stand by his friends. Never make him angry, as his power triples during this time and he won't stop until his opponent is killed. Luckily, he is not often angry, as it is one emotion that he doesn't employ very often.

History When I was five my parents, along with my brother, took me camping in the woods and that was the time when everything changed. A group of lycans had been living in the area and my family had camped too close to them for their liking. In the dark of night they came and slaughtered both of my parents and my brother was taken, but I woke up in the middle of the attack and ran away sustaining only a small bite on the arm. Thus the transformation was accomplished and many strange occurrences happened before my knowledge of it was complete. First, after the attack I ran off into the woods and somehow found my way back into town. Some people found me and took me to a center for adoption. It was there that I was adopted out to a family in north New York. (The state, not the city) I lived happily with them for a time with little knowledge of what would become of me. It was on my eighteenth birthday that things took a turn for the worst. I had learned to love my new family and they loved me back. My eighteenth birthday arrived and ironically that was the night of the full moon. Now changes had occured to me over the years, but because the bite was small the full change took a long time to take over my body. Strange things had been happening, such as broken furniture and finding dead animals on the doorstep every once in a while. Nobody even thought to blame me for these things and I knew nothing about it myself. On that birthday the disease (in a figurative sense in that the cells has slowly transformed me) was fully completed and I woke up the next morning to find my adoptive parents dead in their bedroom. It was this that started a seed of suspicion of myself in my mind, but at that moment my fear was far greater and I ran away from the house. I took what money I could find from the house and I lived on my own for a while. It only took me three months after that to realize that I was a monster. I accepted it though and after the acceptance I started to see wierd things all around me every day. Some people would have glows around them of different colors and sometimes I would see a shadow of things in the woods near town. One night I decided to corner one of these people with these glows and make them answer a few questions. It was in my fortune that it was another lycan (with a blue aura) that I encountered that night or I would have surely been killed. A vampire would have killed me outright and demons would have done something much more horrible....I know that now. The lycan recognized me for one of his own and understood that I had almost no information about lycans themselves. He felt pity for me and told me everything he knew about the race of lycans. After this it took me a while to believe it, but I did in the end. It was then that I moved to Los Angeles, it being a major center of activity for the immortals. I joined the pack there and played a major role in the events that followed. A gigantic war erupted between all of the immortals and many were killed. In the end I found myself the new pack leader, as I had shown the bravery that was needed to run the pack. Almost all of the pack elders had died in the war and this had shaken the foundation of the pack to the core. It was up to me to pick up the pieces that were left and form a strength that the lycans could use to take over Los Angeles. How I was going to do this I had no idea and i'm still doing my best to figure it out. This is my life...

Weapons I carry a gun that I can load with both normal bullets and UV bullets, depending on the situation.



Male Alpha's Profile
Name: Derek

Alias: N/A

Age: 19 (33 in human years)

Appearance:User Image

Wolven Appearance:User Image

Personality: He can be extremely blunt when he needs to be and is very matter-of-fact. While he used to be cold and standoffish toward everyone, he is slowly coming around and showing his nicer "older brother" side, especially when he's around Silver.

History: Derek is the older brother of Silver. He disappeared years ago, during the time when their parents were murdered by Logan's pack. It was only recently realized that he had been kidnapped by Logan's pack to be used by Logan as his "blood descendant". Traveling with them for years, they returned to LA in order to bring Silver back into the fold and tap into his power. With Silver's apparent death at the accidental hands of Alluvian, there was a power vacuum in the Pack, for no new wolves with Alpha blood had been integrated since the Immortal War. Seeing no other choice and slightly wanting to escape from Logan, Derek volunteered to become the new Alpha male. He was disliked and distrusted by everyone, but there was no other choice. Elected as the LA Alpha male, he is now watched closely by the Pack and he seeks to gain their approval.

Weapons: An engraved longsword strapped to his belt. It had ancient runes on it that have an unknown effect. Most of the time he doesn't use the sword, preferring to rely on his own power than its steel. The sword can, however, amplify his magical power when the energy is sen through the blade.

Magic: He was taught original Latin magic by Logan, though is still an amateur in using it. While he has a large range of abilities to use, they quickly tire him out.



Female Alpha's Profile
Updated Feb 4, 09

Name: Zeil Hyde.
Alias: Z, The Ghost
Age: 35

Appearance: Standing at 5'5" tall she has pale skin due to her walking around out at night for the most part. Long black hair reaching down to her mid back and cold blue eyes are the main features she likes about herself. The main feature on her face is the long scar that runs from above the right eyebrow, across the bridge of her nose and ending under the left eye. She is usually seen wearing a long balck coat that goes to her ankles and a black felt top hat with a blue velvet ribbon wrapped around its base. Her clothes change from time to time, but are usually consisting of black jeans and a blood red shirt.

Recently she has taken to wearing all white from tip to toe along with her normal clothing here and there. The new outfit consists of a white felt top hat with a red ribbon around its base. Her long coat is a vibrat white and hangs down to her ankles. White dress pants and a white formal button up shirt are
under this long coat. Her black hair is the only thing black on this new outfit.

Wolven Appearance: User Image
Pure Black Fur.

Personality: She is usually cold to those she doesnt know, but thats just a defence against harm. Once someone gets to know her she can be rather nice and caring. Though through all that, deep down she is a twisted soul, plotting for things that may or may never happen. A tricky lycan who only trusts friends and whos friends have her promise of trust.

Recently she has grown more distant and cold, keeping to herself and out of the view of the other night creatures.

History: She was born a pureblood werewolf, daughter to two werewolf parents in a sturggling pack. She lived happily amoung them in her younger years, understanding nothing about the ranks untill she became a teenager and started to take an intrest in elevating her status. Her pure blood making her yearn for a higher rank got her into trouble. Picking a fight with the Alphas she was wounded, getting a cut across her face from a special silver dagger the Alpha male had on him for just such an occurence. Being out cast from that she moved, not leaving her LA home, but instead moving away from her old packs territory. She lived by herself in the street for a while untill she heard of another pack looking for leaders. Taking an immediate intrest she joined, showing her pure blood skills to get her to the top and the rank of Alpha female. She now lives at the club, helping Silver run the pack the best she can.

She had left the L.A. area for a long while, searching for gods knows what and apparently coming up empty handed. She has returned to L.A., but isnt getting right back into the thrall of things. Instead she has kept to the outside of the territory, and to herself.

Weapons (if any): A revolver with special UV bullets and a whip which she wears around her waist like a belt. The whip has been blessed by several holy men, making its bite deadly to the demons and some vampires.


On Rooms

Also, as stated on the main forum, you must create a place for yourself. Just create a topic in here that represents your room.

This place will, most likely, be within the club itself, but you may have an apartment soemwhere in Los Angeles. Please state within the title (In Club) or (Apartment), so this can be defined.

Wolven Appearance: User Image
Pure Black Fur.

Personality: She is usually cold to those she doesnt know, but thats just a defence against harm. Once someone gets to know her she can be rather nice and caring. Though through all that, deep down she is a twisted soul, plotting for things that may or may never happen. A tricky lycan who only trusts friends and whos friends have her promise of trust.

Recently she has grown more distant and cold, keeping to herself and out of the view of the other night creatures.

History: She was born a pureblood werewolf, daughter to two werewolf parents in a sturggling pack. She lived happily amoung them in her younger years, understanding nothing about the ranks untill she became a teenager and started to take an intrest in elevating her status. Her pure blood making her yearn for a higher rank got her into trouble. Picking a fight with the Alphas she was wounded, getting a cut across her face from a special silver dagger the Alpha male had on him for just such an occurence. Being out cast from that she moved, not leaving her LA home, but instead moving away from her old packs territory. She lived by herself in the street for a while untill she heard of another pack looking for leaders. Taking an immediate intrest she joined, showing her pure blood skills to get her to the top and the rank of Alpha female. She now lives at the club, helping Silver run the pack the best she can.

She had left the L.A. area for a long while, searching for gods knows what and apparently coming up empty handed. She has returned to L.A., but isnt getting right back into the thrall of things. Instead she has kept to the outside of the territory, and to herself.

Weapons (if any): A revolver with special UV bullets and a whip which she wears around her waist like a belt. The whip has been blessed by several holy men, making its bite deadly to the demons and some vampires.

Name:Sabrina Maxine Hunter

Age:20

Wolven Appearance:
User Image
(timber wolf coloring)
Personality:Is a quiet person most of the time. She'll talk if others want to talk or if she's in the mood for it. Protective of those who she holds colse adn is very caring. Her wolf side though can be quite vicious and uncaring.
History:When she was fifteen on vacation from Canada, visiting some relatives in L.A. They were attacked by dogs, both her mother and father killed by them while she was dragged away. Waking up in blood, but nothing, but a tatoo that lay across her back. She was fifteen then and had run as quickly as she could to her grandparents house. There she found yellow tape and blood stains. She then saw the body bags of both her parents and grand parents. She colapsed right then and there.

Soon waking up in the hospital, there a doctor told her of what had happened. She was devastated, but nothing compaired to the next month's full moon. She had changed very painfully and ended up killing several house pets and one human. When she awoke she found herself in a stange apartment and a familiar face. That of the doctor. She soon found out that he had been the alpha of the pack that had killed her family and also had been the one to save her. She exploded on him and ended up storming off. But as it came near to the next full moon she found him or rather he found her. They talked and she learned from him on how to control her beast and how to coexist with it, though she still has problems, most often durring the full moon, when she changes without it, she holds control, but durring the moon, the beast seems to hold control dominently.
Weapons (if any):dagger, three section staff and custom handguns(.454cal,10round with UV custom bullets)


shaiwolf
Name: Edward Farrington
Alias (if applicable): Ed, Eddie, E.
Age: 17
Appearance: Green Eyes, red undershirt and a nice black over shirt. Nice pants. Crappy black hiking boots. Skinny teenager, with a sad face and brown hair. Jet black raven sitting calmly on his shoulder most of the time. He has a messenger bag filled with tons of books and a duffel bag containing his saber dagger and other prized needed items.
Wolven Appearance: In both Were-form and full wolf form he has a midnight blue coat with black-silver belly fur.
Personality (not much to be done if not wanted): Loss of family members gives him an expectation of tragedy.
History: My mother was human and rehabilitates wolves primarily but all types of animals if she had room, meets my dad in his wolf form but she can tell he's not a normal wolf because of his eyes and his calm, yet cool demeanor. A few months after this a guy (my dad) comes into my mom's office and she knew it was impossible but she has a sense that they'd met before. She forms this feeling into a question and he tells her that he's a lycan and asks if she would change and go with him. She said no but she would let him stay in the house/territory that she owned for the wolves. They ended up getting married but my father was unfaithful, once. My mother discovering this divorced him and went back to the preserve. Being by herself up there made her temporarily insane not helped by his cheating so she found him again with the adulteress but this time she was pregnant and married to my father. I say that the first woman was my mother because she raised me and only revealed she wasn't my true mom on her deathbed. My dad was furious that my mom came back and he almost killed her but realized this problem was his fault. There is a part in this that even my mom didn't remember. It ended with my father leaving all of his knowledge with my mom; killing my biological mother after my birth; leaving this knowledge and child with my mother he fled only to be chased down and slaughtered by demons (those perversions of nature). My mom raised me with my father's directions and she added her own touches in my rearing like my connection with the earth and animals. Also, her taste in literature and casting, led to the creation of my closest and only completely true friend Poe, the raven spirit who is connected to my very soul. I can bring him out with a thought from a source of strong feeling (i.e. fear, love, hatred). I have a powerful revulsion to demons and such fire related things. I came to LA after my mom died, she said my dad had family out here. I'd fit right in were her exact words. Too bad she didn't say who I was supposed to be looking for.
Weapons (if any): Perfectly fletched by Poe himself, arrows never fire straighter then when the bird whose feathers are being used does it for you. As for melee he has a saber and dagger combo. But in his were-form his dagger, claws, and canines are his weapons because a saber would break with a lycan's strength behind it.


Slvr977
Name: Johnny Seram
Alias: Slvr(do to other Silver; Silver2005)
Age: 17
Appearance: Young male of white. He wears a white sleeveless shirt with bandages running from his shoulders down to his wrists, tightly pulled. He wears a black clothe around his waist, strapped to his 2 swords, which are sheathed and wrapped in black clothe up to the hilt. He has black tennis shoes on his feet, worn down to scrap. His hair is jet black and his eyes are red as blood. Under the bandages are a series of markings to keep in the beast that has killed to many.
User Image
Wolven Appearance:He doesn't use his Wolven form, since the symbols don't come off. He only goes into a black-out state, in which the werewolf takes over his body rather than change. All the energy is used for his strength, speed, and senses

Personality: Nice guy and often friendly. Protective and serious in battle. Prefers to fight alone

History:Born into a family of werewolves that reach back to the 1800's, they were the most respected of all the clans. But when they were murdered by Slayers the night of little Johnny's fifth birthday, the night where he would be told of his families past, and the night all living relatives were together in one room. The entire Seram clan was wiped clean from the face of the earth, leaving little Johnny cowering under a table, the last of his family. So his birthday past, and he never found what he was. After living on his own for a time, he discovered what he was. On the night he turned ten, he was alone, walking to the box behind the drug store, an escaped serial killer found him and decided that this little one would die that night, by his hand. Johnny's back was turned to the man, but he knew someone was there, so he walked on, waiting. When the killer walked close enough, he drew a switch blade around Johnny's throat and ready to cut ear to ear. What happened next, not even Johnny believed. In a swift move of self-preservation,, Johnny wrenched the man's hand around, making him drop the knife, and struck the man on the lower jaw. The entire of the skull gave way, shattered to shards of white bone, slicing every part of the brain at once. The killer fell down, bleeding from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Johnny knew this wasn't right, and left. Even so, he didn't turn into a werewolf till he reached 13, which happened while he was in Africa, having stowed away on a boat to escape his memories. Mercenaries attacked a village in which he stayed and had many friends. They attacked at night, busting into the mud huts and dragging them out. Johnny awoke and killed the man that attempted to capture him, but realized that he was out-matched when he saw all the mercenaries. But when the moon came out, full and shining, he blacked-out. He awoke next morning, covered in blood, surrounded by corpses of friends and killers alike. He had known what he was for a while, but had not believed he would have no control when he changed. His family was to teach him control of it the day after they were killed. He rushed to another village and found a shaman, telling him the story. Johnny, still covered in blood, pleaded that the shaman take away the curse, but he was unable to. Instead, he used the blood of the victims to form markings on Johnny's torso, that would lock in the beast, but left several symbols incomplete so he may use the strength, speed, and senses. Johnny was great full and left Africa to escape his memories once more. the next 4 years lead him around the world, only to end up here, in Los Angeles.

Weapons: He carries 2 katanas in the black clothe. He can also release his inner werewolf by completing the symbol over his heart, which only takes adding his own blood in the center of the circle. The symbol is changed back at midnight.


Sonic Silfarion
Name: Derek

Alias: N/A

Age: 19 (33 in human years)

Appearance:User Image

Wolven Appearance:User Image

Personality: He can be extremely blunt when he needs to be and is very matter-of-fact. While he used to be cold and standoffish toward everyone, he is slowly coming around and showing his nicer "older brother" side, especially when he's around Silver.

History: Derek is the older brother of Silver. He disappeared years ago, during the time when their parents were murdered by Logan's pack. It was only recently realized that he had been kidnapped by Logan's pack to be used by Logan as his "blood descendant". Traveling with them for years, they returned to LA in order to bring Silver back into the fold and tap into his power. With Silver's apparent death at the accidental hands of Alluvian, there was a power vacuum in the Pack, for no new wolves with Alpha blood had been integrated since the Immortal War. Seeing no other choice and slightly wanting to escape from Logan, Derek volunteered to become the new Alpha male. He was disliked and distrusted by everyone, but there was no other choice. Elected as the LA Alpha male, he is now watched closely by the Pack and he seeks to gain their approval.

Weapons: An engraved longsword strapped to his belt. It had ancient runes on it that have an unknown effect. Most of the time he doesn't use the sword, preferring to rely on his own power than its steel. The sword can, however, amplify his magical power when the energy is sen through the blade.

Magic: He was taught original Latin magic by Logan, though is still an amateur in using it. While he has a large range of abilities to use, they quickly tire him out.


Logan


Name: Logan

Alias: Unknown

Age: 21 (258 in human years)

Appearance: Jet black hair is cropped short up around his ears, though still quite shaggy. His eyes reflect this color, being a dark brown that resembles black. The clothing he wears is comfortable and casual, while still remaining high-breed. A long, jagged scar slants down over one eyes, though it is faded and appears years old.

Wolven Appearance: User Image

Personality: While he used to stay above and higher than everyone else, pretending they were beneath him, he seeks to hide a wounded heart. Being around others that have some amount of caring for him and seeing how his acts of fear toward others has gotten him nowhere, he has sought to change himself. With Derek as his descendant, he acts more as a fatherly figure, the person he wants to be.

History: He discloses little of his ancient history, becoming enraged whenever anyone asks about it. From the scar on his face, it is clear that it is not a happy past and one that seems to horrify him. Some great tragedy made him become the cold, uncompassionate person he is today who only thirsts for power. That, however, began to change when he met Derek...

Weapons: None. He prefers to fight with his hands.

Magic: Logan was taught the old magic by his mistress in the early years of America. Having time to master it, he is proficient in all types, though he never had too great of an aptitude for using it. Those with better skill can conceivably surpass him, but that doesn't mean he's weak.

An amulet retrieved from a Viking ruin gives him to power to negate all magical and demonic energy without fail. The downside is that it also negates his own magic while using it, so he uses it sparingly.


Silver
Name: S (Silver's Clone)

Alias: N/A

Age: 18 (30 in human years)

Appearance: Dressed in nondescript casual clothing, S recently cut his hair into a much shorter, spikier cut. A major addition to his body is the multitude of faded scars that crisscross his body from Logan's attentions. His face was not saved from this disfiguration. The only major, initial, difference between him and Silver is that he has bright green eyes.

Wolven Appearance: A silver wolf the same as Silver, though without the two wounds scars.

Personality: Much more determined and blunt than his counterpart, he finds that it is much easier for him to be around Derek than his clone at times. Any sign of weakness that Silver has is missing in him, though he can still hold the extreme depths of sorrow at times, and he can also reach a caring and sensuality that Silver, with no one being that close to him, seems to currently lack.

History
: Born from a schizophrenic episode from Logan's ministrations, he was killed along with Silver, while they both occupied the same body, by Alluvian. Brought back as a symbol of torment, he became the sole inhabitant of Silver's body for a short period of time. Later actions split him and gave Silver his own body, while S kept a body that showed his mental image of himself, scarred and all. Caught up in a relationship with Wenda, one of Maren's vampires, he had achieved a measure of happiness for himself, while still harboring doubts about his true existence.

Weapons: Possessing the same partial shape-shifting abilities as Silver, he lacks any true weapons other than this.

Magic: He was taught an inferior form of Greek magic by Logan that he mainly uses to heal others.


Daiuske Imora
Name: Kyrian Lycal
Alias (if applicable): K', Red
Age: 17 (27 In human years)
Appearance: User Image
White hair, 5'10, tanned skin, skinny yet toned body, red eyes.
Wolven Appearance:User Image
Dark fur covers over all of his body, standing at about 5'10, he grows sharper claws and fangs.

Personality (not much to be done if not wanted): Keeps quiet in groups, but can be talkative with another person. Usually stands alone in the corner while he studies.

History: N/A

Weapons (if any): Iron Chain (In human form), Boot-toe knife (Human form), twin short swords engraved with a phrase written in an ancient language. The phrase elongates from one sword to the other. He rarely uses both swords, for each sword possesses some magical energy behind them.




Kareesata
Name: Milena Asolmaz
Alias: Milly
Age: 18 (25 in human years)
Appearance: User Image
( Copper hair, fair complexion, dark green eyes. Eyes are identical to her wolven form. )
Wolven Appearance: User Image
Personality: Cautious, to say the least. With that caution comes an unending loyalty to those she cares for. Or, perhaps, her loyalty is from the betrayal and confusion she has felt her entire life. No matter the reason, Milena sees the good in people and rarely the bad. A bloodthirsty brahmaparush vampire? Well, everyone has to live one way or another, no matter how terrifying it is. A ravenous Nachzhrer? As long as it's dead, it's harmless. Only a few examples of her optimism.

History: For all of her life, Milena always felt as though she is different. Perhaps an underlying dream created by her mundane existence. That dream only came true when she reached her eighteenth birthday even if it took away all of her happiness.
Milena's father died for reasons she never really knew. That night she was with her grandparents, unknowing that she would never see her father again. After wards, none of her family would ever tell her the truth. Whenever she asked, they merely changed the topic or gave her some ridiculous excuse. Whatever excuse she was given, it did not seem enough to her. Her father is immortal, right? At least, in her eyes, he is that way and in her heart, he always will be.
As the years passed her family deteriorated as did her sanity, it seemed. From her mother's horrible boyfriend's, which end in an abusive stepfather, to her favorite aunt's and other relatives turning to drugs. She was left with her grandparents. And after she went through with her mother, she did not mind living with her grandparents. She loved them unconditionally and had friends at her new school. It was her eighteenth birthday that took it all away.
The moon rose into the night sky, at least, she thought it did. The clouds were covering the sky thick enough to blotch any light, even the mystical moon. By unknown instinct, Milena went outside, wishing she could see the beautiful moon. Though when she found pain coursing through her body, she fell to her knees, scared and confused. After what felt like hours of pain, a snout formed where her mouth was, fur covered her body, and a tail grew. A wolf now stood where a girl was.
Milena was conscious of her transformation but decided it was just a dream. Scared, she tried to run into the house, but was stopped when her grandparents, with somber expressions, caught her attention. They probably heard her screams but then, they would be worried, right? Why do they look so calm? They explained everything to her right then and Milena did not even question how she is able to understand their language with the mind of a wolf. Apparently, her father was a lycanthrope, bitten when he was just a young adult. Even though he was different, they still took care of him and accepted him, such amazing people! Though he met her mother, a human - and a disgraceful one in her opinion- and Milena was procreated. She asked how she is able to transform completely if she is only half. Genetics, they said, is a strange thing.

Milena knew, from her growing hunger, she could not stay with her grandparents. She had to live in the wild, as the wolven instincts told her to. Padding away into the forest of northern california, the wolf eventually found herself not far from Sacramento. She found a pack there, all carrying the distinct long fur of the northern wolves. The few that heard of her father accepted her immediately. After many, many years of persistence and acceptance, Milena found her place in the pack, just below Elder.

Ryan Wills

Age: 20. December child.
Personality: He's usually the happy-go-lucky kid, but things have changed far too quickly for him to adapt to. He's out of his depth but holding on thanks to Silver's careful guidance, and in all due time he's learning how to make the most of his situation.
History: The middle child of three, Ryan was a UCLA student studying his way through an Economics Major until the unexpected happened. One night while he was crossing campus to get back to his dorm there was a flash of pain in the back of his head, then darkness. He woke up hours later, hanging by his wrists a foot off the ground in a white room... splattered red with blood. From then on the terrified twenty year old's world had been nothing but pain and torture at the hands, claws, blades and tools of the red-haired woman. His attempts at freedom were met with brutality, it was if she knew what his plans were before he did, the scenes set up purpousfully in order to rouse his hope, to rend more desperate screams from his lips. How many times had he begged for death? By now he had stopped even that, it only encouraged her to continue. The best glimmer of hope he had had was the moment she offered him to the chained man for something Ryan did not understand, but knew meant death. Death. He welcomed the thought cautious not to let hope sink in too deeply lest it be torn away. But then a strange man jumped into the fray and tore Ryan away from the world of pain he had come to know. Maybe Angels exist, after all.
Weapons: None at the moment.
